I will be watching this thread with great interest. I wish I could come and hang out.

Saturday is Steampunk day. We'll probably be outside in the garden at the Prudential again for our pictures.
The fountain in the courtyard would indeed make an excellent backdrop.

You are, of course, the Chief Officer of Alcohol Acquisitions.
I am also out of work, (but not fired, mind), for an "indefinite " period. My brain is already turning to mush.
TO. THE. WALL.
Btw, Valley St is still flooded. GS is currently stuck on the other side of it near Roger Williams Hospital so uh...don't go that way for anything today.

Shit, now I'm faced with an ominous choice. I somehow sprained my toe running and it's still swollen. There is room in my bags for my costume. Should I risk aggravating the shit out of my foot in order to participate?
Btw. We have a junior suite. Huge bed, sofa bed, chair, tables, fuckin flat screen.
Bukowskis. Om nom slurp om!
Sales are being made, sister is here and heckling the masses.
And now she is drawing vaginas.

Like those old opera binoculars? Because that's an excellent idea. And if it's not like that then someone should do that. Or put it on a chain like a monacle.
Yes. Like opera glasses.
Remember kids, it's not a con unless Richter throws up.
Got good business today. D-Cup was in a chain mail bikini. Eggasm tomorrow! Nao booze.

My brother does that. Cuts it out of old vinyl. When I first saw it my eyes bugged out because I thought he had somehow found his way here. Then I shat bricks. Then I lol'ed.
Also,

DO WANT!
Why are we not enjoying pics of all this??
The bastards tried to poison me, but failed. Their poison food only made me mean.
This reminds me, I need to find a way to fit in a raid on an Anime con into HIMEOBS - the Novel.
Make sure it involves rum, furries, lube, and novel uses for plastic lightsabers.
I agree with everyone else in the thread, we absolutely need pics of those mustaches on sticks.
That's what we're all talking about, right?
Moustaches on sticks being held by Darth Cupcake in a chainmail bikini, yes.

:hashishim: :mccain:
I am currently beyond exhausted and JUST got back to sitting in my own place for the first time since Thursday afternoon. I'm so tired it hurts and on the way back from dropping my sister and her bf off at Logan I was falling asleep in the car.
Ugh.
Alright, now that I'm not totally a turnip anymore. Here's the basic recap from my point of view.
Thursday: GS and I drive up to Quincy and take the T in to the convention. DO NOT WANT. Cart with heavy tub of art stuffs + Green Line gap = fail. However, we prevailed. We checked in, we somehow got a Junior Suite but I didn't complain...I get my pre-registration and my table set up, then GS and I walk over to Bukowski's to help ease the initial shock of once again being at an anime con surrounded by idiots who are already in costume and probably won't be changing for the entire weekend. I spent $13 on A beer (Schneider Aventinus http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/72/224) , but it was delicious and well worth it. It also contained enough alcohol between that and a Dixie Blackened Voodoo for me to wake up with an intense dry mouth Friday morning.
Friday: My panicking sets in. GS needs to register, so he runs down to the line, and I need to get into Roman costume, so I get my shower, and start layering on the stuff when he gives me a call and tells me that he's going to be a while. :x So, I figure out how to get the rest of the stuff on and head down to the convention to get my table open. My panel was scheduled for 11am, I had killer dry mouth and yet to get myself a coffee or water, and no table help in sight. GS arrives in just the nick of time and I go to find the other panel ahead of mine running over, I hand out my handouts, which uh...turned out to be borked by Staples, and give my panel. By this time, my sister had landed 20 minutes early and was on her way from Logan via the T. I end my panel a little early because of my sister getting in and the fact that no one had anymore questions, and hussle back to my table. GS goes to help my sister and I plop my ass down for the rest of the day. Richter and Leln don't get in til about 4.
To be continued...
Well, the internet has stolen my dignity so here you all go. On stage at hentai dubbing:

And then I got spanked. On stage.
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs448.snc3/25698_417419902253_706602253_5723439_1183227_n.jpg)
And for the record, the girl doing the spanking used to be a professional dominatrix. She went easy on me because she knew I was wearing basically nothing, but I had a welt on my ass well into the next day. :eek:
That was a surprisingly fun costume to wear, but it might've been all the rum I drank.
I checked out Suu's booth and her stuff was quite awesome. The bags are really freaking great.
Mostly I spent the weekend frolicking in my costumes and confusing the HELL out of people. Lots of heckling. Lots of yelling things. It was lovely.
Wow. Nicely done!
I don't think there's any need to post my reaction, as it probably can be guessed.
Plus, I don't think you can get the Fap emoticon big enough to do it justice.
We also EggGASM'd the fuck out of the place.

I went to work on that with Saturnine, but he was swamped with the gallery and I had to go work my buddy's table so it didn't happen. :cry: I'm glad you guys got to it!
I had forgotten we did that :lulz:, the whole thing was sort of a feverish blur to me.

You need to stop getting food poisoning, or getting drunk and blaming it on food poisoning. :argh!:
Oh, Byron emailed me, he's already started on Steampunk Kegarator Mark II.
...Oh yeah, we got busted Saturday night sitting in the lobby drinking. We weren't doing anything, just sitting there, and we were all of age, which is why security didn't seem to pitch TOO much of a fit, but they did confiscate our cups. When they pointed at the Steampunk Kegarator Mark I and asked what it was, 4 of us went simultaneously, "A prop."
I almost wish I WAS drunk :|, I'd have been hungover, and better within the day.
Seriously. Your sister and I practically split a bottle of rum and were totally fine. You come in and start worshiping the porcelain god and we have to drag you out of the bathroom at 2:30am just so I could take a piss.

Hey, we were geeking out over Lord of the Rings and theology while we were drinking. This practically guarantees divine aid in avoiding hangovers.
Drink rum and compare and contrast the Valar and Maiar to Seraphim and Cherubim. GO!

Um, that kinda was our Friday night, courtesy of Suu's knowledge of angels. Congrats. When Richter and the others returned we were trying to get a definitive list of archangels and the various devils of Hell to help our analysis of the Silmarillion, but the internets in the room were flukey.
Frungle is GS's lurker name. Lol.
Yeah, totally flakey internets didn't help when I was trying to name all 7 archangels and princes of Hell from the top of my head.
Also, my nose is STILL fucking dry and I just yanked out a great scab...but now I'm bleeding again. Doh!
Eww. One of my eyes is still bloodshot, so I have to agree with sister-Suu's boyfriend about mold. The fan in the bathroom didn't work therefore lots of nasty shit lived in the carpet. We all had some sort of allergic reaction to that room. Still, it was a fun weekend aside from worry over siblings and general exhaustion. In spite of fatigue I enjoyed myself. It's always good to get the filters off for a day or two, though yesterday I REMEMBERED why I try to get vacation time the day after a con.
Yeah I dunno about that room. I was grateful to have a junior suite, but it seemed like they cut some serious corners when they renovated. I think I'll write them a letter to let them know.
You know, seeing that Steampunk photo set in flickr from the first page, if there's anything about steampunk coming into fashion, I wouldn't mind those goggle-shades. Unsure if they'd look good on me personally, but they are acceptable summerwear IMO. Except you'd probably get real odd inverse-panda tanning circles around the eyes :)
My sister and I went into H&M the other day and the clothes were all very Steampunk inspired. It kind of pisses me off, really. 3 years ago I had to go to vintage stores and sew my own shit, now fucktard trendy little bitches can walk into stores and buy this stuff. Hopefully it will just be fleeting though.
That sounded like loads of Fun.
:mittens: for the pics.
I wish I had pics. My sister took some, I just have to wait for her to upload them.

I can't wait till the trend passes. I am sick of being at cons and seeing any jackass in a suit with a monocle and a tophat going "I ARE STEAMPUNK."
No, you're not. Shut up, go home.
I actually see flecks of red these days when I see people in steampunk costumes. You guys were spared my wrath because you actually have good ones. :lol:
That's because nobody has a fully functional chatelaine dripping with sharp objects hanging from their belt like I do. I have two pairs of scissors, straight pins, a thread cutter, and needles on my person when I wear it, and nobody ever makes me have to peacebond. :mrgreen:

Oooh. Residual drama. Apparently some classic ED DeviantART fuckwads bought out like 4 tables in the artist alley AND a table in the dealer's room. (They once bought out 14 tables at Otakon) I KNEW those fuckers sitting across from me where up to something. You're not allowed to have more than one table, and they had 2 spattered with the same ass shiny desu shit, and it was making me pissed.
At least I trust the staff at AB to lay the smack down like we had to a couple years ago with that cunt who was selling scans from other artists and telling people she made them in MS Paint. (The same one who was caught selling my crappy 72dpi scans at Connecticon and Another Anime Con)
Otakon didn't have the balls to kick them out, but I've seen AB security walk right into AA and tell people to pack up and go home.
This is exciting, I love it when assholes get busted. :mrgreen:

Steam Punk is many times confused with arousing.
While the two certainly walk the same path at many times (ie steam powered dildo machine) they are not exactly the same thing.

Richter's pre - coffee ideas on GOOD steampunk.
Originality: Make up a backstory. Now make it different than everyone else's. Unique will be more fun than generic. The Airship Pirate Sky Kraken Hunter's Guild will drink with you regarldess. Oh yeah, don't barf this personal fanfic out at everyone who even MIGHT ask. Likely, no one will care, it's just pre - aranged material for the occasional roleplay. Ask General KALED about how he got his medals, for instance.
Craftiness / Industriousness: You want to become god to steampunks? Build your own anayltical engine based on Babbage, Pascal, or Turing's designs, or a period vibrator.
Complexity: Go big or go home. Add little bits, details, and highlights to everything.
Thrift: Salvation Army, GoodWill, Harbor Freight, closets, yard sales, army surplus, junk shops, etc., are your friends. So are "Instructables" and "MAKE". You can age mos things with "Rub 'n Buff", vinegar, or fire.
Edit: Fixed Gen. K's name per Suu's reminder.
General Kaled is a sick, twisted clockwork soldier who got medals for genocide, killing kids, and raping prostitutes.
Oh Richter, there's a band playing at the World's Fair called Emperor Norton's Standing Marching Band, we need to have them do a theme song for us. I think GS has already been in contact with them!
Verynice! I still need to double check everything for that weekend. I may be getting tapped for Schola.
General Kaled is a great fellow. Impecably dressed, and pulls of fake military uniform without beign voer the top. He's always in character, being an abrasive, arrogant asshole by nature. Sometimes the best way to deal with his attitude is just to flip him off and resume life as if he was not there. His own cohorts, Captain and Whisper, have endorsed and practiced this course of action themselves.
Screw Schola, I was actually REALLY mad that they decided to do it in May 2 weeks after Investiture. I already told them I'm not going and I got tapped to do a class too. I'm also teaching at the World's Fair. Whisper has me down to do a presentation on the clothing trends of the Victorian to Edwardian time periods.

:mittens: I have to admit, the proto-type steampunk bong I encountered @ a random PDXO party (used an aquarium pump, a large gallon wine bottle as the main chamber, a smaller bottle as the regulator, and lots and lots of surgical tubing. The final plans had a small candle drive steam engine pump instead of the electric one) was AWESOME. I also loved how I was the only one able to clear the main chamber because I've studied Pranayama/Breath-work (and scuba-diving as a kid doesn't hurt).
